nhl-jerseys

An MLBJerseys franchise in Seattle is way way way long overdue IMO, and Ifor one would certainly love to see it happen one day, the Canucks owners mightdisagree however. With a metro population of 3.4 million, Settle could easilysupport a franchise, and so could Portland Oregon with a metro population of2.226 million. Why the NHL felt the need to explore non traditional sunbeltmarkets instead of places with good hockey history like Seattle and Portland,is beyond me. Just think of the potentially great rivalry between Vancouver andSeattle, with only a 4 and a half hour drive seperating the two markets, fanswould be drawn from either side during road games for their team. It would reallybe nice to actually be able to go see my team play live on the road more often.Make it happen, Wholesale Jerseysmake it happen.

Wednesday brought another day ofspeculation with regard to the possible future of the NHL Jerseys in Seattle — this time, badnews. Just a day after Bill Daly said publicly that the league has been incontact with a group interested in bringing a team to the city, comes a newwrinkle. KING 5 reporter Chris Daniels learned that a deal to buy a piece ofland in nearby Bellevue to build a new arena had fallen through. This isunfortunate news but is by no means the end of the Seattle hockey story, I'msure.

If you haven't watched the package above,you should. Chris tracked down former NBAJerseys defenseman Jamie Huscroft — a member of my Tampa BayLightning for parts of two seasons (the Vancouver Canucks too, by the way). Heruns two hockey rinks in the area. He likes the idea of a Seattle-Vancouverrivalry just like many commenters on this post. (Though he's apparentlymisjudging the distance between the two cities.) I'll keep you updated on thisas more details trickle out. It's definitely not happening next season andyou'd have to be extremely optimistic to think 2012-13 — and heck, the worldmight end by then, right? But if it doesn't, I'm eyeing the 100th anniversaryof the formation of the old Seattle Metropolitans in 2015. One more thing. Acouple of you have asked about my team allegiance if, say, the Stinkin'Panthers were to relocate to Seattle. Would I still root for them? As long asthey're not the Stinkin' Panthers, sure. But only because they'd be closestgeographically and would bring the Lightning to town at least once a year.Nothing will change the fact that the Bolts are my team. I've said it before:You don't pick your team, it picks you. And lastly, as far as naming ideas go,I think Metropolitans and Totems are equally terrible. In the comments, Erikbrought up the Seattle Breakers — the Thunderbirds' old name for NFL Jerseys.
